Being the strongest and loyal Hitman of Gang Leader Namjoon, Taehyung turned himself into a marionette whose strings were controlled in the fingers of his boss. The strings of emotions, sentiments, quirks and perception. He stood as firm and emotionless as an anchor, never battered. Never faltered. But the day when a boy named Jungkook with the prettiest smile touched him, the mafia's leg shook. The more he avoided those beautiful eyes the more he got lured into them. The boy consumed the loneliness of his life that was lonelier than he lets on, maybe lonelier than he ever realized. Taehyung never knew if it was ever possible. If it was ever possible for his stone heart to be able to feel alive, to beat for someone who was the reason behind it, to seek for love. To wish for freedom. For the first time he wanted to get untied from those strings. He wanted to be free. But what will he do when the one for whom he wants to do all these for, is supposed to be his boss's obsession? Will he ever get the permission to live.. to love? "A thousand times I wanted to hold your hands.. a thousand times I wanted to hold you tighter. But I'm still a coward. I am letting you go."
